9. National Hispanic American Heritage
Month

10. • Each year, Americans observe National
Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15
to October 15, by celebrating the histories,
cultures and contributions of American
citizens whose ancestors came from Spain,
Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South
America.

11. • The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic
Heritage Week under President Lyndon
Johnson and was expanded by President
Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day
period starting on September 15 and ending
on October 15. It was enacted into law on
August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public
Law 100-402.

12. • The day of September 15 is significant
because it is the anniversary of independence
for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and
Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile
celebrate their independence days on
September 16 and September 18,
respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la
Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30
day period.

13. But what does it mean to be Hispanic?

15. • “Our Nation's story would not be possible
without generations of Hispanics who have
shaped and strengthened the fabric of our Union.
They have enriched every aspect of our national
identity with traditions that stretch across
centuries and reflect the many ancestries that
comprise the Hispanic community. This month,
we celebrate this rich heritage and reflect on the
invaluable contributions Hispanics have made to
America.”
- President Barack Obama, 9/15/2012
